Transparency

• Provide clear, detailed policies regarding shipping, returns, and privacy.
• Be transparent about your business model and operations.

Online reputation

• Display reviews and testimonials about your products to help potential customers understand how to use your products or how other customers have used them.
• Display any relevant badges or seals of approval from third-party sources.
• Make sure customers know how to contact you or request product support.
• Promote blog content and share third-party content your business has been featured in.

Professional design

• Install an SSL certificate so customers know that their sensitive data is stored securely.
• Ensure that your site is accessible, easy to navigate, and free of broken links or unnecessary redirects.
• Avoid placeholders for text and images.
